There are many different sophisticated methods for measuring density but they all revolve aroud the equation of Density = Mass/Volume. To find the density you need to ascertain the item's mass (weight) in grams and it's volume (how much space it consumes). The simplest method for determining volume of an irregular solid object is to submerge the object in a liquid and measure the change in water level in milliliters. This can be done with a measuring cup or preferably a graduated cylinder. To determine mass just weigh the object on a household metric scale, recording the weight in grams. Now divide the mass by the volume (mass/volume). The resulting number is your density value in grams per cubic centimeter. (g/cm^3) For example if my mass is 5 grams and my volume is 3 milliliters of displacement, my density is 1.7 grams per cubic centimeter. 5g/3mL=1.7 g/cm^3 Note: a cubic centimeter (cm^3) and a milliliter are precisely the same. One is conventionally used for solids, the other for liquids.

What do you have to do in order to have a unit of measure for density?
You need its mass, and you need its volume. Then you divide its mass by its volume and that is how you express density. The most common unit of measure I have seen is grams/liter, if you use the metric system.
